Your Challenge- Experience ExpoCulinaria 2012


Fri, Sep 7th, 2012
Posted in Rushford Arts & Culture

“Bring it to the table,” is not just an engaging command or culinary taste bud invitation, but it will also prove an entertaining challenge for the upcoming professional chef cook-off in Rushford, MN. At the feature September 22nd attraction of ExpoCulinaria—An Experience in Taste, two “seasoned” chef’s talents and knowledge will be put to the fire under the big top in downtown Rushford as they create an array of scrumptious appetizers, entrees and desserts. Utilizing an unknown pantry of food and surprise ingredients in a limited amount of time, the chefs will vie for top honors and prizes from a panel of judges. The winner must achieve the highest point score for presentation, creativity and taste.

Returning to defend his 2011 winner title is Chef Douglas Dahlgren of LaCrosse, WI. Dahlgren attended the Art Institutes International Minnesota in Minneapolis, receiving an Associate’s degree in the Culinary Arts. While attending school, Dahlgren worked professionally at Barbette in uptown Minneapolis. Here he learned the importance of working with local farmers, and how to utilize local and seasonal ingredients in his menus. After graduation in 2005, Dahlgren began working at Signatures Restaurant in Winona, MN as a line cook, quickly working his way up through the ranks; Lead Line Cook, Pastry Chef, Sous Chef, to the title of Executive Chef. He is currently Executive Chef at Culina Mariana Café at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in LaCrosse. Dahlgren believes fully in the farm to table concept by educating the public about where their food comes from. Also that we all have a responsibility in supporting our local economy by buying as much as we possibly can locally. Dahlgren doesn’t see this as a fad, but an ethical obligation. Chef Dahlgren’s approach to food, “Start with good fresh seasonal ingredients, animals raised by people you know, and do as little as possible to mess it up.”

His 2012 competitor Chef Steven Burdey grew up in Green Bay, WI, and studied Education at Concordia University in Milwaukee, WI. In the midst of his book studies, Chef Burdey came to the realization of his love of and the desire to create with food. Chef Burdey has 25 years of restaurant experience, studying under Chef Kevin Cassidy of Currents Restaurant in Alma, WI. Most recently Chef Burdey studied with Chef Laurie Farley at Kate and Gracie’s Restaurant also in Alma, specializing in pastas and cheesecake. He is curren .....
